My Uncle moved to Manitoba years ago to work for an aerospace company. I visited him and my cousins as a teen. He took me to see a waterfall that was maybe 15 feet tall. It was beautiful, but I'm from BC and grew up with huge waterfalls from the mountains. After I got over how tiny that waterfall was and looking at the pride on my Uncle's face, it became the most beautiful waterfall I'd ever seen. He's gone now, but I'm so glad that he gave me the honour of hiking with him to his waterfall.
McIntosh apples are very popular (& have been around for a long time) because they are an all-around apple. They are good for baking & also good for eating just fresh. They have a thin skin (like the Royal Gala & UN-like the thicker-skinned "Delicious" apples - [which DON'T appeal to me BECAUSE of this thicker skin.]) When they are still quite young (& have a little green on them) they can be a bit tart & are very good for cooking/baking. When older they mature to have a sweeter taste - not quite as much as a Royal Gala, but almost - keeping a slight hint of the tart in it. It is a medium-sized, round apple (like the Gala.) The flesh is also a tighter, finer texture (like a young person's) than the flesh of the "Delicious" apple - which has a larger, looser cell structure (like an aging person with looser, larger pores.) I can't remember what the Gala is like inside at the moment to compare it to that one. It's a good apple though. If I could only ever have one type of apple, it would be this one as it tastes good in so many different ways - fresh or cooked. I guess you'll have to have one of them when you come to Canada as it isn't something to send you very easily. Take care. 🥀🍎🧸
Manitoba has a desert too! It’s named Spirit Sands and is in the Spruce Woods Provincial Park - about 1 1/2 to 2 hours from Winnipeg. Beautiful Park for camping, etc.
There's a television show set in Churchill called "Polar Bear Town" which I'm sure you'd find interesting. It's mostly about local people acting as tour guides for the tourists and interaction with the bears. In a recent episode they showed mothers with their cubs (usually two) emerging from their dens. The cubs are born in the dens (carved in the snow) and for the first three months of their lives all the cubs know is the darkness and their mothers' milk and fur. When the mother decides it's time to leave the den the cubs follow and see the world for the very first time. It's their first look at sunlight, trees, each other, and often a large group of photographers waiting to capture the moment. It's quite touching as the little ones realize how much more there is to the world than they knew until that point.
Growing up the only apples my parents bought were Mac’s or Delicious during the winter. We had our own apples from several apple trees in late summer. My kids in later years preferred the Galas. Not sure we even had those when I was growing up. I think the Macs are juicier but not as crisp as a Galas. That’s my take on apples. 😊Have a great day Tash!
My grandfather had an orchard in the southern Okanagan, a significant tree fruit farming area for over a century (also now wine grapes). Apple varieties change over the years in popularity as new varieties are introduced, but he always had some Macintosh and Red Delicious in the orchard. Also pears, peaches, cherries, apricots and plums. Macintosh are a juicy sweet apple on the softer side. My favourite, and best fresh. They don't store as well as others.
A coastline over 200,000 kms., sounds a bit much to me. Maybe if you count every nook and cranny and include the Arctic. Saw the Columbia Icefield back in 1974. Back then you could easily see it from the highway between Banff and Jasper. I hear that it has been slowly melting and has retreated so far that it can no longer be seen from the road. Grew up in Quebec in the 1960's and McIntosh apples were pretty much all we had. Sometimes Red Delicious and/or Granny Smith. They are sweet and juicy and make the best apple pies. Despite their colour, Spirit Bears are not Polar Bears. They are not found in the Arctic but only along the Central and North coast of British Columbia. Their proper name is Kermode bear and they are a rare subspecies of the American Black bear.
To sum it up, I'm born here and after 51 years, I still have things to learn about my own country--Canada is big. Your channel will live for a long time if you want to learn EVERYTHING. Aboot polar bears, look for something called the Tundra Buggy--it's a way to watch them from close while staying safe--the babies look cute and are small, but they can still tear you to pieces, especially considering that mommy is always close. Basket was indeed invented by a canadian, but he was living in USA when he did it, so it's still open to debate with our american neighbours & friends.
Back in the 70s or 80s I drove through St. Paul many times when I worked out of town. I stopped in the landing site to view the sophistication of the landing pad. Definitely would need upgrading to accommodate today's UFOs. During the one time I did stop at the landing site I read a sign that indicated due to the alarm siren frequently and mistakenly going off during the middle of the night, it has been disconnected until further notice. Without a warning system in place, I got out of there lickety-split. As far as I know they have never turned the alarm on again. So, beware. Be very beware... and have a nice day!
Growing up my mom had a polar bear cub for a while. My grandpa was a bush pilot on a ranger station in northern Ontario and saw a cub orphaned by a poacher, and took the cub home, named him Snowball but moved him to the zoo when he got too big
A friend of mine got married on a glacier in Alberta. They arranged a helicopter to take them there, she wore a wedding dress with a white faux fur coat and they both wore their big winter boots. The pictures were amazing!!!!
I grew up in the South Okanagan, which is where Canada's real desert is. I live in Yukon now, and I have been to the smallest desert in Carcross. I made a labyrinth in the sand there once! The video did not show the real picture of the place, as it a mountain on one side which makes it really pretty. It is also a lot smaller than the picture on the video showed.
Polar bears look cute and cuddly, but they are vicious and fearless and will attack anything. The glacier field he is talking about is the Columbia Icefield located between Banff and Jasper on Hwy 93. You can walk out on the ice field but bring a coat as it is cool even on a hot day. You can also take a ride on the special built tour busses. A must see if you go into the Rockies.
Also do not wear open toed sandles but sturdy shoes with traction ❤[remember you are walking on hardened icy cold snow-ice...brrrr!]❤I chuckled quietly when some Asian elderly women were wearing sundresses and sandles...they had very small rectangular plastic bags in order to scoop up water running downstream from a very miniature stream on the surface layer of the Columbia Icefield...maybe only a souvenir or later they might test the water's purity ... elements proportion 😊
My first job was two summers picking MacIntosh Apples here in southern Ontario. It was in my upper years of elementary school. The owners came around to our school to recruit students for summer labours. We spent half the time picking apples and half the time throwing the rotten ones at each other because...boys.
Sometime, if you are interested we have a very cool colour changing lake in Manitoba called Little Limestone Lake. It is considered one of Manitoba’s seven wonders. And yes, really in Manitoba!
living less then two and a half hour drive from 5 ,6 ,and 7 , the Columbia Icefeilds are the place to visit you can take a ride in a tour buggy , walk , you dont have to fly over them , and I am circled by 5 lakes with in half a hour that you can swim , boat , fish in . To see 1/4 of what Canada has you would need a month or two per Provence to explore in person
We built a 268 km highway just for tourists to see those icefields in the Rockies. I grew up just some miles away from the MacIntosh family apple orchard.
I grew up (and still live) in an area where the only Macs are store-bought. They have to be better straight off the tree and I hope to have the chance to try one someday. I grew up on a wide variety of local apples and grocery store specimens just don't come close.
My best friend’s mother came from Shelburne! Linda (my BF) absolutely loved the place and visited her family there a number of times. I have visited NS but I didn’t see Shelburne. Absolutely Love NS.
I live at the world’s longest fresh water beach. It is in the town of Wasaga Beach Ontario. The beach is 10 km long. On the southern shore of Georgian Bay.
Polar bears are my favourite animal. Their dark eyes set against their white fur are so expressive. James Naismith was from Almonte, ON, just up the road from Ottawa
in Newfoundland(Canada) on the west coast there is a place called the wreckhouse which is known for its high winds( 200+kmh) and also home of the human wind gauge. he would notify the trains if it was too windy for them to pass through
I live in Kermode territory. They are black bears, not polar bears like this video said. And the "Great Bear Rainforest" is just a term invented by hippies.
I doubt that is Lake Louise @0:54 but may be @8:23, as it has a beautiful turquoise hue due to minerals brought into it by glaciers. The photo @1:35 looks like Tofino, BC on Vancouver Island. I'm wondering why Trafalgar Square is included @5:50??? 😆
The "Man in the Moon" must look like a turned down circular mouth (unhappy) with the eyes at the base. Guess NORTHERN HEMISPHERE is easy to see...yep two round eyes,almost a nose and a circular mouth is pretty plausible.
Lived in Churchill in the fifties I even walked into one covered in snow They camaflage well with all the black rocks and snow as their coats hold onto the snow and sticks to them when they are lying down. in the summer they have a slight yellow colour that blends well with the grass. by the way the spirit bear is a species of black bear that are colour white they do not resemble polar bears the spirit bears are know as Kermode bears I live on an island just outside of the area where they are and I have seen them driving on the mainland. I have been across Canada three times I have relatives in Alberta and Ontario I lived in Manitoba Nova Scotia and New Brunswick PEI I have never been to Newfoundland sorry to say My home province is British Columbia and I have travelled all over it I have seen most of all the animals of Canada in my travels. ps I have travelled the Yukon but haven't live there the other two territories I have not been to either I have not seen a Narwhale yet hope to someday
The video is wrong when it calls the Spirit Bear a polar bear. Spirit bears or Kermode bears are more related to grizzly bears that are also in the region.
Ice hockey is not a Canadian invented game. It was invented by free black families from Maryland USA who moved to Canada in the early 1800s. because they needed a fun activity in the winter they invented the game of ice hockey..

1:10 "More lakes than any other country in the world" is a huge understatement. Canada has more lakes than all other countries combined.
McIntosh apples are very popular (& have been around for a long time) because they are an all-around apple. They are good for baking & also good for eating just fresh. They have a thin skin (like the Royal Gala & UN-like the thicker-skinned "Delicious" apples - [which DON'T appeal to me BECAUSE of this thicker skin.]) When they are still quite young (& have a little green on them) they can be a bit tart & are very good for cooking/baking.

If you want a good apple, try a Spartan
My favourite is the Spartan apple...a cross between a Newton and a Macintosh.
Fuji apples, McIntosh cross
My gala apple tree just started putting out leaves last week 😁

Of course the Canadian portion of the Arctic is counted for the Canadian coastline.
Love your videos tash keep them coming,we will see you live tonight……cheers
Awesome thank you!

#9 Spirit Bear. These bears are white or cream colored Black bears, found on the west coast. The bears shown looked like Polar bears.
I flew over the Rocky Mountains on the flight from Vancouver to Edmonton. Truly beautiful.

Same as koalas lol
They're the one bear that is entirely carnivorous, so an out and out predator.

I'm with you about the Polar Bears! I would love to go to Churchill & see them (well, relatively) up close.
That would be cool!
Thanks for the mention of my wonderful home province of PEI(Prince Edward Island)
It's my pleasure
We built a 268 km highway just for tourists to see those icefields in the Rockies.

Macintosh apples aren't my favorite (I grew up with them too!) but there's a world of difference between stored ones and right off the tree.
Go to St. John's NL in July - see the orcas!!! It's heavenly!
My hometown was the shot when he mentioned #2 the longest coastline. That is where I spent countless hours playing as a kid!!! Shelburne, Nova Scotia.
My best friend’s mother came from Shelburne! Linda (my BF) absolutely loved the place and visited her family there a number of times.

You need to watch..Hudson and Rex...filmed in st John's,Nfld..
I'd say 7 or 8 of those I already knew. The others I'd probably heard but didn't stick in my head.
in Newfoundland(Canada) on the west coast there is a place called the wreckhouse which is known for its high winds( 200+kmh) and also home of the human wind gauge. he would notify the trains if it was too windy for them to pass through
Also, another fact about Newfoundland, George Street in St. John’s has the most bars, pubs, nightclubs, on the street as the most in the world
@@philipmitchelmore3974 Having met a few fine fellows from NF that does not surprise me at all .
How about the iceberg valley in Newfoundland and the salt wter lake in Saskatchewan so dense people don't sink in t.
Correction on the original video a Kermode bear (aka spirit bear) is a sub-spieces of American black bear not a polar bear.
Thanks!
OMG cheers mate 😀😃
I live in Kermode territory. They are black bears, not polar bears like this video said. And the "Great Bear Rainforest" is just a term invented by hippies.
They are NOT polar bears.
Black bears wow scary but beautiful

Got to go to St. John's , Newfoundland. , you will love it . be at home.
hey were island.

We have so many lakes, that we name them after our soldiers that have been lost in conflict
They can't tell how many lakes there really are, because of the definition between what is a lake, or a pond.
Mac’s are the absolute best apples!

Hi stranger missed you xx
The video is wrong when it calls the Spirit Bear a polar bear. Spirit bears or Kermode bears are more related to grizzly bears that are also in the region.
